I'm building a couple of new low budget PC's which would double duty as Media Browser front-ends.
Case: Thermaltake SD101, $110
PSU: included 180W, $0
MB: ASRock H81M-ITX, $60
GPU: integrated graphics, $0
RAM: Kingston 2x2/4GB DDR3 1333 (on-hand), $0
HDD: Samsung 830 128GB (on-hand), $0
ODD: LG Blu-ray Drive UH12NS30, $40
Still undecided on the CPU but have been considering the following:
CPU: Intel Celeron G1820 2.7GHz 2MB L3, $50
CPU: Intel Pentium G3220 3.0 GHz 3MB L3, $65
Aside from the clock speed and cache, are there any other differences between the G1820 and G3220 in terms of graphics performance, features, etc? Is there any good reason to bump up to a Core i3 or something? Just want to know the limitations of these processors so I have an idea what I can and can't do with them (e.g. Hi10P, LAV filters, 4K, etc). Also, would adding a discrete GPU down the road give me some of those features or is the CPU just too big of a bottleneck?
